Included with Specialty Commissions($29 Value)

This service gives you the opportunity to be involved in bringing your character to life! Once your designer creates your plushie, they'll send you photos and you'll be able to provide feeback on any changes you want. Please Note: this is not a mockup of your design, it's photos of the final plushie that you can either approve or request changes to. You will get up to two rounds of changes to ensure we captured your character how you envisioned it. This is an amazing benefit for illustrators, artists and designers who have a very specific vision for their character in 3D.

Add [email protected] to your contacts to ensure delivery of your plush proofs. To avoid unncessary delays of your order, proofs not responded to within 4 days are considered approved.

NEW: Custom Color Selector

Our color selector, which is only available for Specialty Commissions, gives you even more control over the design of your plush. As the artist, you get to personally choose the colors you'd like us to use for your creation.

The Best Team of Plush Artists

Some folks worry about sending designs to a "big company" instead of an individual plush designer. Let's dispell that myth outright: we're not some mega corporation. We are just a small team of people who love stuffed animals.

With Budsies, you get the best of both worlds: individual artistic attention with great customer service.

We are a small team of humans who love plush and care about your character. There are no robots or corporate drones here. Just a yappy little pup named Maggie that defends us against the evil mailmen

Our Specialty Commissions are only worked on by our most experienced designers who have been trained specifically for this service

We have been serving the OC, anime, furry, manga, etc. artist community for years. We understand what matters to you. Shape, fur quality, detail: it's all important

With Budsies' resources, we created internal standards and processes to make ordering simple and keep our customers informed throughout production. By sharing resources, we're also able to lower your prices

Tips for getting the best plush results

We absolutely love turning your designs and characters into huggable 3D plushies. As the artists, you've created something special and unique to who you are, and we are happy we get to help bring that creation to life. We want to make sure you have the best experience with us as possible, so here are a few tips that will help you get the best results possible.

1. Ref sheets. We don't require ref sheets, but clear, flat color ref sheets do help our designers see all the important aspects of your character.

2. Don't skimp on the description. Be sure to describe every single detail you want on your plush. Even if it's present on the ref sheet, it’s helpful to reinforce the most important aspects of your design.

3. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Our team is more than happy to help answer your questions. We want you to have a great experience!

4. Shades of color & designs with gradients may not be exactly matched. While we have an array of colors, certain characters with a lot of different shades can be difficult to match precisely. Our designers have to work within plush limitations, so solid colors work best.

A Gift as Unique as They are

It’s not every day someone receives a custom, huggable plush of their unique design, character or work of art.

Giving someone a thoughtful, meaningful gift that makes them smile is such a great feeling. And I've come to realize that the more personal and outside the box - the better the reaction! It shows your friends and family that you appreciate who they are as individuals.
